Hunting Lease Evaluation


If you are considering leasing your land for hunting, or want to evaluate your current hunting lease, consider calling Dr. Larry D. Butler.  He has assisted ranchers with hunting enterprises for over 30 years.  His research for his Masters and Doctor’s degrees focused on deer hunting enterprises – one on white-tailed deer leases and the other on mule deer hunting leases in Texas.  He has also guided hunters and evaluated the adequacy and appropriateness of ranch facilities for paying guests.  He is one of the few in the business with comprehensive knowledge of hunting lease management (habitat management, deer management, people management, facility management, and economics).

Your hunting lease evaluation will include:

  • Review of your current operation
  • Fee structure
  • Hunter behavior
  • Length of hunting opportunities
  • Habitat analysis
  • Game offered for hunting
  • Deer herd analysis
  • Labor and other inputs
  • Facility analysis
  • Recommendations
